My receiver and sub I'm more than happy with but my current speakers will not work in my new room and I think I may have a buyer for them already.
What I going for now is a pair of bookshelves for under $2000 that I can demo in Colorado. These will be the basis of a 5.1 system in a small room. I might be able to fit towers but for now I'm going to assume I'm stuck with a bookshelf speaker.
Right now my list of what I *think* is available between Denver and COS:
KEF R300
Dynaudio Excite 12
Epos Epic 2 *Do they even make a center channel?
Paradigm Sig S2
Aperion Verus Grand Bookshelf *Excellent return policy
PSB
DefTech
B&W
Dali
NHT
Energy
Salk WOW1
Salk CAOW1
Obviously if come into a windfall of about $8k or so I'll have to order some Salk SoundScape 8's blind and shoehorn them into the room
, but I'm willing to take that chance after hearing the 12's at RMAF last year.
Hopefully in November when I'm home for a couple weeks I'll be able to listen to a handful on the above list and take some notes. This thread is just to document my findings and for the sharing of knowledge from others that have been down this road or are just in the beginning stages themselves.
